Abstract
A lamp is provided that includes a glass tube body composed of a glass composition that includes an optical diffusive agent to increase the light diffusivity of the glass tube body. The lamp can include a glass tube body having a perimeter defined by a sidewall of the glass tube body for enclosing a hollow interior. The glass tube body is composed of a sodium silicate glass including an optically diffusive agent that is alloyed with a silicate base glass composition. The optically diffusive agent can be selected from lithium borosilicate, titanium dioxide, antimony trioxide or combinations thereof. The lamp can further include at least one light emitting diode (LED) on a substrate that provides the light source. The at least one light emitting diode (LED) that is present on the substrate is positioned within the hollow interior of the glass tube body.
